Rita , your website has just become another page of WOT, you bring nothing new , no events or announcements coming in advence, just copying and pasting what’s already posted in wot page , this is page is no longer interresting , too bad :/

You do realise she is largely dependent on what the Community Managers etc. can provide? They are actually rather slow with providing the news, especially in the EU region. She can hardly post any news if the people who should provide it don’t even know it…

Haha, I like all the unneccesary excuses for Rita like you’re agreeing with him that everything is copied from the wargaming home page, simply put, you will not find such a collection of information from tank leaks like the latest super test tanks and changes in the test server on the world of tanks homepage. You will also note there are a lot of links to community events, scandals, videos, charities, and changes on other wargaming product platforms not frequently mentioned on the world of tanks homepage. If need be, I would be happy to link you to these posts in the past week but you are right there is quite a bit from the wargaming home page, maybe 25% of the content here is just that if I am generous with my estimate. This is not a bad thing as it does establish the site as more of a sub information hub to the world of tanks site for learning official and non-official projects but the more savy of people just call that kind of thing a blog.

I would like it more if they sold premium hours. 80% of 360 days is wasted time, because you aren’t playing the game. If you could buy bundles for premium hours. For example 500 hours that are only used when you actualy play the game. The could charge them the same as the telephone providers, so 1 hour and 55 minutes would be 2 hours and 2 hours and 7 minutes would be 3 hours. WG would make there profit from that but it would be still more fair for players then whole days of premium from which you on average would only use a couple of hours. And I think more players would make use of it then. I would. Now I don’t, other then once in a while 1 day when I know I am gonna play a lot.

they have already implemented a similar idea, in the form of ”personal reserves” which gives a 1-6 hour boost, varying between 5-200% to extra: xp in battle / crew xp / free xp / and creds.

ideal for most players i believe, slightly annoying to activate them for use. does not expire. but i am unable to purchase more of these that gives free xp or extra credits boost. WG could fix that

usually play 1-2 hours myself. and i think WG would profit from making them easier to use, and upping up the cost a bit.
Select when needed
normal 24Hour prem is 250 gold right?
combining ”large” boosts equal to give 50% extra of everything would make it about 200 goldish?

In an ideal world your ‘premium hours’ idea would be absolutely what the game, and its players, needs.

But this isn’t an ideal world, and wargaming, who by all accounts appear to be a business first and a game developer second, are, it seems, primarily interested in making as much money from their community as they possibly can as quickly as they can, hence why they’ve recently started ‘forgetting’ to include unbundled tanks in the EU store once again, because they know full well that there are just enough people out there with more money than sense who will fall for their marketing and sales gimmicks, because those players absolutely positively have to have the latest shiny things and hang the expense.

This is also why wargaming really couldn’t care less about how any of us use our premium time once we’ve spent a good amount of money to purchase it, just so long as they can reliably keep making sales of digital 1’s and 0’s and our money is in their bank account more than it’s in our own, that’s all that really matters to them.

I think a good part of this is that while in the west (EU/NA) would prefer this, it’s just as likely that RU users might not, and since an idea this important would have to go through Minsk for authorisation, they would probly just turn around and say no

That kind of premium time was requested years ago and denied by WG very quickly.
Even though it would be much more fair and in the end probably more rewarding für WG.
But unless comrade Stalin orders it out of hell nothing will happen.
